We had great fun practising

Earthquake Drill.

Earthquakes occur frequently in Japan.

Usually the earthquake is short and just rattles the tables and windows.

All Japanese school children learn 'Earthquake Drill'.

In case of earthquake, grab your hard hat and go under the table.

Earthquake in Japanese is 'jisshin'.

Occasionally, earthquakes are very strong and buildings skake so much that they fall down.

The safest place is under something strong like a desk or table.
